Vulnerability GHSA-fw47-9c62-h3vw
Summary
Electron: HID and USB permission checks can be attributed to the wrong origin
Details
Impact
For hid and usb permission checks made from an iframe, session.setPermissionCheckHandler was given the top-level frame's origin and details instead of the requesting frame's. Apps that allow these permissions based on origin could grant an embedded frame access intended for the top-level page.
You're only affected if you use setPermissionCheckHandler with origin-based logic for hid or usb and embed cross-origin iframes with allow="hid" or allow="usb". Apps that don't delegate those features to untrusted iframes are not affected.
Workarounds
Don't add allow="hid" / allow="usb" to untrusted iframes, or make the decision in your select-hid-device / select-usb-device handler using details.frame.
Fixed Versions
45.0.0-alpha.544.3.043.7.042.11.3
